What if you could do that? How would you use it? I'm sure I don't want to know the details of all your perverted minds. But Ruby Sparks tells the story of a man who can do that, simply by typing it.
Ruby Sparks, directed by the directors of Little Miss Sunshine, tells the story of a writer, Calvin, played by Paul Dano, who found fame when he was 19-years-old, but is now struggling to produce his next book. He is frustrated and alone virtually with no friends other than his older brother.
Calvin starts having dreams where he meets a beautiful girl. He falls in love with his own dream and decides to write about her. The words begin flowing through him as he finishes page after page after page. Until one day he wakes up and fines that the fictitious girl he dreamt of and created has become real. And everything he dreamed about her has come true. But Calvin soon realizes you can't have everything the way you want, even if you created it.
Despite writing exactly what he wants, Ruby, played by Zoe Kazan (who also wrote the screenplay), slowly becomes her own woman. Fearing he is losing her, Calvin attempts to control her even more.
I loved this movie. It had me interested the entire time, and I can't wait to see it again. It was funny, romantic, sad, beautiful and every other cliché you can think of, but at the same time completely different. This movie will prove to be one of the best of 2012.
My Grade: A
